More than 70 years after the great ocean liner sank, marine geologist Robert Ballard discovered the wreck of the Titanic 12,500 feet beneath the surface of the icy North Atlantic. Here Ballard presents an album of dramatic images from the wreck of the ship from a variety of perspectives—a story told in rusted, twisted metal and debris, but also in a porcelain doll's face, an empty shoe, and an abandoned derby hat. A companion volume to a National Geographic special, the book includes renderings done by the ship's original designers, charts of the debris field, and period illustrations.
